Cash Crop

Look look, I lied! But not on purpose, I promise. Since these were hidden beneath the dirt, I didn't realize my garden had actually produced more than a handful of anything. I had thrown a few small potatoes in the ground towards the end of summer as an experiment. You know, nothing ventured nothing gained sort of thinking. After a few days of rain here the ground was soft enough to put a shovel into so I did and this was my reward, buried gold! This should be enough to feed me and a mouse or maybe two!.

I grew up in California. I now live in the middle of 11 acres on a hill in Tuscany. I have two cats, two dogs, one miniature pony, an assortment of chickens and one very Italian husband. Pinch me. I said “Pinch me!” After all, this is Italy.
